eFile 1099Misc

@CoachTheresa  Can you please clarify your question?  Are you asking how to ENTER 1099-MISC (or 1099-NEC) income into the TurboTax program?  Or are you instead asking about preparing and filing (with the IRS) 1099s for contract laborers you've hired and paid?

I hired 3 contractors to work on house projects in 2021, so I need to prepare 1099 Misc for these contractors. It’s simpler to eFile these 1099 Misc within TurboTax, but it appears that the Deluxe version doesn’t support this task. It appears that if I want to eFile 1099 Misc within TurboTax, I need to upgrade to a more expensive version. Is this correct?

 

i also need step by step instructions for eFiling 1099Misc within TurboTax. The instructions I found aren’t all that helpful.

Let me correct myself. I am using Premier version. ( not Deluxe)

@CoachTheresa  First things first.  1099s and W-2s for tax year 2021 should have been prepared, e-filed with the IRS, and issued to contractors before January 31, 2022. 

 

That said, what you're looking for is called TurboTax Quick Employer Forms.  It's a separate program, designed to work only with TurboTax Self-Employed edition in the Online platform, or TurboTax Home & Business in the Desktop (CD/Download) platform.  

 

You'll have to create an account in QEF before you're able to utilize the program.  Here's a link to the webpage, and another link to QEF FAQs, which are very helpful.

Kat,

You've been most helpful. I just e-filed my tax return minutes ago. I took a break from preparing the 1099 Misc till yesterday. sorry I have not replied to you sooner.

 

@CoachTheresa  So happy you've finished your filing!  And very happy to have been helpful.  Blessings!
